I stood in the bathroom stall changing into my gym uniform for training. I listened as I heard everyone outside the stall laughing and joking with each other. After I changed, I sat down on the toilet and waited for every one to leave the locker room. 

I took some deep breaths trying to cool myself down, as it was somewhat warm in the locker room along with me having to wear a long sleeve gym jacket to protect everyone.

I listened as the bell rang and everyone finally filed out of the large room. After I didn't hear anyone I left the stall and walked over to my locker and shoved my clothes into it. I quickly rushed out of locker room and towards my class.

I stood off to the side, somewhat behind everyone, just far enough away that I wouldn't touch anyone.

"Today we will be sparring." Mr. Aizawa announced just as I ran up behind everyone. "First up will be Bakugo and-."

"I want to fight y/n." I heard from somewhere in the crowd. I turned my head and saw through the crowd that it was Bakugo that had spoken up.

"Bakugo that's not a very fair match. You're explosion quirk and their fear manipulation quirk won't work very well against each other. Your quirks don't correlate-." Mr. Aizawa started but got cut off once again.

"I want to fight y/n." Bakugo said, and it was quiet. Everyone turned to look at me, and I kept my eyes down.

"Bakugo, I don't think that's a good idea." I told him, and there was suddenly a hand around my covered elbow. Bakugo dragged me over to the sparring area and threw me away from him. I took a couple of steps away from him but I was just glad I didn't fall on my face in front of everyone.

I looked up at Bakugo and I met his gaze. And in his eyes I could see into him and what he was afraid of. The feeling of that nasty sludge wrapping around his face and cutting off his air. Being strapped down by the League of Villains.

It's only been two weeks since Bakugo had been rescued from the LOV, and I was the only one that would know how scared he was.

And I already knew that's why he wants to fight me. He wants me to make him face his fears. He doesn't want to be afraid anymore.

Him out of anyone I've ever made eye contact with, is the most fearful. He's so scared about what will happen because he's too weak. He thinks that he's weak, because he's scared.

"Bakugo please, you don't want to-." I started to beg him, but there was no stopping him. He thrusted his hand up and sent an explosion at me. I was able to dodge it. 

I looked at Aizawa, and he sighed. The match had already begun, and it didn't look like he was going to stop it. Which means I'm just going to have to last until times up.

I continued to dodge attack after attack. And I felt like I was starting to over heat from my jacket, and the heat of his explosions together. 

Bakugo sent an explosion at me, and it barely missed me. It caught the end of my jacket and my jacket started to catch on fire. I threw it off of me before it could burn me anymore, and felt relief of the cool air on my skin, my tank top allowing me to cool down.

"Quit dancing around!" Bakugo yelled and ran at me. "Attack me with everything you got!" He ran up to me and started trying to hit me with his bare hands. 

I can't let him touch me.

I flinched and started dodging his hand to hand combat, barely able to keep up with his speed. I swung at me and brushed my arm a bit, not enough to hurt me. But it was enough to do something to him.

He flinched as fear ran through him. We both froze for a moment. I thought that small touch would shove some sense into his big head, hoping that he would stop this. But I should have known better than that.

I let my guard down for too long, and his hand wrapped around my throat. It took everything in me to not to shove his arm away from me. To not touch his bare arm.

But I looked into his eyes as his fears ran wild. I watched and I could tell my quirk was giving him visions. 

"Why don't you just jump off the roof of the building." He offered to someone, it was Midoriya. But what he saw next was his real fear. 

His hand around my throat squeezed tighter, and I couldn't breath.

Midoriya dropped off the ledge, just like Bakugo told him. He stood below and watched as his body fell.

"Deku!" He screamed out, and his grip got even tighter. I tried pulling on his jacket, trying to push him away. But he was frozen in place. He couldn't stop it, or do anything about it.

The feeling of uselessness running through him. How couldn't he stop someone from getting hurt? From dying? Someone getting hurt because of him. It's all his fault.

"That's enough!" Mr. Aizawa's voice echoed over the training grounds, and I could no longer see Bakugo's fears. Mr. Aizawa had erased our quirks and Bakugo was now standing there staring at me. But his grip didn't let go.

I started gasping as people rushed towards us, and my legs went weak. He was still too scared. Too scared to move, to breath properly, to pull him out of the frozen state he was in.

"Bakugo let go!" Kirishima yelled and started shaking him. His other friends started pulling on him, and eventually they got him to let me go.

I fell to my knees coughing and choking, pulling myself away from the group of people before they touched me. I held my neck and coughed until I could breath properly.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I heard someone say and I looked up to see Bakugo standing over me. "How the hell did a fear inducing freak like you get into the hero course?"

"Bakugo." Someone said but neither of us turned to them.

"A nightmare like you will never be a hero!" Bakugo yelled at me.

"Bakugo! That is enough!" Mr. Aizawa said as he stepped in front of me. I picked myself up off the ground as everyone tried to console Bakugo, and I walked over to a bench. 

I coughed some more, and now my throat was tender. I sat down on the bench, and took a drink of water. It hurt to swallow.

"Are you alright?" I looked up to see Mr. Aizawa. "Do you want to go see Recovery Girl?"

"I'm fine." I told him and we stayed in silence.

"Why didn't you push him off of you?" He asked me as he sat down next to me. 

"Because I would have had to touch him." I told him and looked up to see Bakugo storming off. "If I had touched him, his fears would have gotten worse. I didn't want to scare him any more than I already was."

"Yet you almost passed out." Mr. Aizawa said. I knew he was irritated with me. He's spoken to me before about these kinds of situations. Bakugo isn't the first to talk to me like that, and I know for damn sure he won't be the last.

"Mr. Aizawa you know how I feel about these things." I said and stood up. "May I be excused?" He sighed and nodded to me.

I walked over towards the training area, were the next group was getting ready for their match. Everyone turned to me and took a couple steps back in order get away from me. I bent over and picked up my jacket and saw that the bottom half of the back side of my jacket was burned pretty bad. 

I slipped it on anyway and walked towards the locker rooms to change. I walked towards the door and I could hear heavy breathing coming from the janitors closet. I stepped closer towards the door, and I could hear crying coming from the other side of the door.

"Hey y/n!" I heard from behind me. I turned and saw Mina making her way towards me. "Have you seen Bakugo? He took off and we're trying to find him" She stood in front of me, closer than really anyone ever has, when they know about my quirk. 

I carefully glanced at the janitor's closet, and I couldn't hear the crying at the moment.

"No I haven't seen him." I told her. "Did you guys already check the locker rooms?"

"Yeah his stuff is still in there, but we can't find him." Mina told me as she checked her phone. My guess getting updates from the squad.

"Well maybe he already went back to the dorms." I suggested.

"Maybe, I'll check there next." She told me. "Are you okay? Bakugo choked you pretty good." She laughed a little, she was trying to make it a small joke.

"I'm alright." I told her. "Just a little light headed I guess."

"Alright, well let me know if you need anything." She told me and walked away from me and disappeared down a different hallway. I took a deep breath and looked at the janitors closet.

"You can come out now Bakugo." I said. I heard a click and the door opened. I looked at Bakugo's face careful not to make direct eye contact. His eyes were red and puffy, his nose looked like it was rubbed a bit raw.

I said nothing and turned away from him. I walked back towards the locker room and went and changed. I slipped my giant hoodie over my head and slammed my locker shut. Walking towards the exit, there was a few of the girls walking in as I was walking out. 

They all jumped and stepped out of the way as I walked towards them. They were too scared that I would touch them.
